Popular Abstract in Swedish Vårt immunförsvar måste ständigt vara redo att försvara oss mot angrepp utifrån. Det måste kunna agera selektivt för att skydda oss mot främmande mikroorganismer som virus och bakterier. Om immunförsvaret istället missbedömer kroppens egna celler för att vara inkräktare och attackerar dessa, inträffar det vi kallar autoimmunitet. De autoimmuna sjukdomarna har ökat överaAim: The general objective of the present research was to study the association between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, and the effects of dietary gluten on the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. More specific aims were as follows: to estimate the prevalence of celiac-disease-associated autoantibodies in children with type 1 diabetes; to study the connection between non-HLA genetic risk marke

The history of modern maritime safety legislation at the international level is relatively young. Its beginnings are generally associated with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, a tragedy that resulted in the adoption by an international conference of the first of what was to become a series of versions (1914, 1929, 1948, 1960, 1974) of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (

This thesis aims at reconstructing events in the solar system, mainly collisional events in the asteroid belt, by searches for extraterrestrial minerals in Paleogene and Middle Ordovician marine sediments on Earth. Recent empirical evidence show that Earth has experienced a few brief periods during the Phanerozoic when the flux of extraterrestrial matter significantly increased. The most prominent

It is shown that clock frequencies in excess of 200 MHz are feasible in a 3-μm CMOS process. This performance can be obtained by means of clocking strategy, device sizing, and logic style selection. A precharge technique with a true single-phase clock, which increases the clock frequency and reduces the skew problems, is used. Device sizing with the help of an optimizing program improves circuit s

This licentiate thesis is in the field of biomedical signal processing with main focus on processing of the vascular sounds of the hemodialysis vascular access in patient undergoing hemodialysis. The first paper proposes a feature extraction method based on principal component analysis (PCA) for acoustic detection of venous stenosis. The method exploits the changes on the morphology due to the pre

In this thesis the relation between the everyday meal, the doings of family and the reproduction of difference in Swedish everyday family life is explored. The thesis has a qualitative approach and interviews with parents from different class and ethnic backgrounds and family constellations, but all with children under the age of 8 years old, is the empirical basis. Using sociological and feminist

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling föreslår förbättringar av vissa verktyg som svenska myndigheter använder för samhällssäkerhet och krishantering; krishanteringsutvärderingar, krishanteringsövningar samt organisatoriska riskbedömningar. Avhandlingen undersöker även hur visualiseringar av säkerhetskulturdata kan stödja utveckling av säkerhetskultur. Forskningen motiverades av praktiska bThis thesis suggests improvements of selected parts of the Swedish authorities’ toolkits for societal safety and crisis management; crisis response evaluations, crisis management exercises and organizational risk assessments. The thesis also explores how visualizations of safety culture data can be used to support safety culture development. The research was motivated by practical needs and delive

The newly identified protein BLAP75/RMI1 associates with the helicase BLM and is critical for the function of the homologous recombination complex. Mutations altering BLM function are associated with highly elevated cancer susceptibility (Bloom's syndrome). We have analyzed the common polymorphism Ser455Asn in RMI1 and its association with cancer risk in acute myeloid leukemia (AML, N=93), myelody
